Château de Villeneuve, Medieval castle in Villeneuve-Loubet, France.
The Château de Villeneuve stands on a hilltop with four buildings arranged around a trapezoidal courtyard, featuring a pentagonal keep and five round towers.
Between 1231 and 1234, Romée de Villeneuve constructed the castle after receiving lands from Raimond Bérenger V following the recapture of Nice.
Charles V and Francis I used the castle for political negotiations, marking its role in French-Imperial diplomatic relations during the Renaissance period.
The castle offers guided tours through specific sections, including the park grounds, drawbridge access, and views from the rampart walk.
The castle survived demolition during the French Revolution by transforming into a hospital for wounded soldiers from the Army of Italy.
